NYS Supreme Court Rules against SJP at Fordham University

“The New York State Supreme Court Appellate Division on Thursday overturned an earlier ruling requiring Fordham University to recognize a Students for Justice in Palestine student club on campus, on the grounds that the 1st Judicial District Supreme Court, which handed down the original ruling, did not have standing to hear the case.

The decision is the latest stage of a legal battle between SJP and the university that began in 2016, when Fordham refused to recognize an SJP chapter on its campus as a university-approved club. Members of the SJP chapter took the matter to court in 2017, and three years later Justice Nancy Bannon ruled that the university must recognize the SJP chapter.”
